Planning for next year: 'The Fridge Method'

19 years ago

So I'm reading a lot about how you all put tulips etc in the fridge over the winter, then take them out for the spring show.

What this newbie needs to know is the specifics of this method...stuff like:

-"Put it in soil." In a pot? In a zippy bag? In an airtight container? Container with lid, no lid? What about drain-holes and a plate? If just 'in soil' but not in a pot, will it sprout in there and get confused as to which-end-is-up?

-"Put it in the fridge, but not in the crisper and not near apples." Pretty self-explanatory, I think. What setting should my fridge be on? Middle/Normal setting? Slightly Colder than normal?

-"Take it out in Spring." How long should it have been in there? Is there a 'bulb guideline' somewhere that says how long for each type of bulb? And lastly, are we potting up at this time for EITHER indoor or outdoor show?

Thanks so much for the Idiot-proof instructions!
